About 2pm PST, half of my office mysteriously came down with illnesses. The better one was the admin who said his shoes were too tight and had to go home to change them. Curiously it took him about 3 hours before he came back, even though we can see his apartment building from our parking lot.

We have a pretty good shot at beating Portugal. Klingsmann is changing up his offense and it looks to be doing okay and with just this win, he's already taken us further than Arena or Bradley ever did. We won't beat Germany though. They're just way too strong and they all play together on Bayern, as it is. Shoot for second in the group and see what happens in the round of 32.

Did you know... "soccer" was a term invented and used by the Brits, who then abandoned its use when Americans used it too much? It's true!

They're playing the games on the TV in the cafe downstairs, which I am forced, er, privileged to listen to (both games and cheering/shouting) while I work, since it's an open atrium building. LUCKY ME.

WHOOOHOOOOOOO!!!! I couldn't watch last night nd I just watched it now. Even though I knew the score and THOUGHT I cared more about Ghana bc they have players from the club I follow, I was crying so hard at our second goal. It's so strange that I don't know many of the players but they mean so much to me bc they're my people! There's just something abut team USA. I wish more of our guys played in Europe, because that's where you learn the skills that make you great but our team is so underrated. I expect us to go farther then last WC which was unfair but you can't complain.

Uh my bad TTM:( I watched the GoT finale and nearly launched a dog across the room while screaming at the tv. So, for the rest of the night I was ranting like a lunatic. I will read whatever is decided on.

What does it mean to the American educational system that Vermont's governor signed into law mandating GMO labeling by 2016 and Monsanto alongside the GMA will fight it to its death despite the clear and present will of the people

D Brown said...What does it mean to the American educational system when more people know who Honey Boo Boo is than can find Ghana on a map?

Ghana is rather difficult to find on a map (Togo, Ivory Coast and others are in such a small place compared to the rest of Africa), the real proof of American knowledge of world geography would be placing Russia, Australia, Egypt, Germany or the US on a map. And most Americans wouldn't be able to find any of those.

@Figgy Ghana knocked the US out of the World Cup in 2006 & 2010 so yeah it was a big deal to some.

I work with all Europeans of all different countries. So it is a national holiday where I work.

I like to watch it every 4 years it is fun to see everybody get so excited about it. The only down side was so many people were streaming the games online that our firm had to block all sports or sport related websites. We literally gummed up our whole network watching.

TTM I would love it if Book Club books were under 250 pages....I'm so slack these days when it comes to reading and I always have 4-5 books on the go at any one time.....but I'm ALL about the social post!!

Pretty good thanks love! Was thinking of starting a little picture blog if people are interested....we will be going to some nice places! Just had four days with Mr Mae's 15 yr old daughter who lives here....had some amazing sushi, tiro pita, souvlaki and went to a restaurant that serves food they ate in Ancient Greece!

@aemish I have the HD Kindle was about $159 I think wifi only. I like it. I have the ipad2 but it is too heavy to lug around. The little kindle i don't mind leaving in my desk with apple i would be afraid it would get stolen. I can just put it on the corner of my desk and nobody notices it.

@D Brown - It means that Ghana is a stable country and poses no threat. However, should America decide they need a good ol' slice of apple pie and sum' FREEDOM, most of us will figure out where Ghana is. :)

It's lovely you'd rather give the World Cup away to a county "which is, well, Ghana." But actually you don't get to make that call. US did win but they sure weren't favourites - think about it. Ghana has a freaking awesome soccer team - historically, not just this year.

Seriously ... America isn't the best at the world at everything. True story!

Kermit - there is a tv programme called CNNN where they walk around America asking people to label places on a map - a small island of Australia (Tasmania) gets labeled 'South Korea.' Is pretty funny - but there are ignorant morons everywhere, and I suspect that they are often found while looking for a vox pop type deal (esp visible after its edited).
